Tropical Islands Pasta With Shrimps And Coconut Recipes

Steps:

• Make the seasoning blend by combining all the spices and the salt (first 5 ingredients for the sauce) in a small bowl.
• Prepare the other ingredients.
• Bring a big pot of salted water to boil and add pasta when ready.
• In the meantime prepare your shrimps.
• Add margarine or vegetal oil to the pan (medium heat).
• Stir in garlic and ginger and coconut flakes.
• When it begins to change the color add the shrimps.
• Change to maximum heat.
• Sprinkle the entire seasoning blend over the shrimp, and give it all a good stir.
• Saute the shrimp for 5 to 6 minutes or until they begin to brown.
• Be sure to cook both sides of all the shrimp.
• Check the pasta and if necessary drain before the sauce is ready (adding some oil to prevent sticking).
• Cut the lime in half and squeeze the first half into the pan over the shrimp.
• Add cilantro (reserve some leaves for decoration).
• Add 2 tablespoon coconut milk if you prefer it wheat.
• Stir and serve.
• Squeeze the second half lime over the pasta in the plate.
• Decorate with coconut milk and the reserved cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the linguine, and return to a boil. Cook until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
• While pasta is cooking, combine the olive oil, pineapple juice, orange juice, orange zest, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and garlic in a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth.
• Pour sauce into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and parsley; cook until shrimp are pink and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Drain the linguini, and place on a serving platter. Spoon the shrimp and sauce over the pasta, and top with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
